Bible Ten Commandments

100 Questions on the Bible Ten Commandments

There are far too many sincere people being taught today that the Decalogue has been abolished and that God and His Son Jesus Christ are responsible for them being “Nailed” to the Cross. Others say that they are still in force with the exception of one. It was the breaking of the Commandments by one single bite of disobedience that placed this world in the mess it is in now and nailed our loving Saviour to the cross. Why would any Christian even consider living in the very sin that caused our loving Saviour all that suffering? The Ten Bible Commandments actually reflect the very character of God Himself and are the very fabric of why we were created. To love God with all our heart might and soul and to love our neighbour as ourselves is the purpose of our existence. To desire not to live by this magnificent law God wrote in stone is to desire to live an un-Godly and unloving life that can only end with one conclusion.

Revelation 22:14 “Blessed are they that do his Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

That first sin was a single bite by Adam and Eve. Let’s desire not to follow in their footsteps and desire to eat from the tree of life instead by keeping all the Commandments of God. Below are one hundred questions to ask yourself and think carefully about in regards to God and His Law. If the Ten Commandments have been abolished, how many verses in your Bible are meaningless and should be left out? As you ask yourself the following one hundred questions, please remember that your Bible says that God is Holy, Righteous, Perfect, Unchangeable, Just, Kind and Good. See also what are the Ten Commandments.

1. How could and why would a God of Truth (John 14:6) do away with a Law that is the Truth? Psalms 119:142, 151.

6. How could and why would a Spiritual God (John 4:24) abolish a spiritual Law? Romans 7:14.
7. How could and why would God abolish the Law that tells what sin is? 1 John 3:4; Romans 4:15; Romans 7:7.
8. How could and why would God abolish the very Law that Christ came to magnify and make honourable? Isaiah 42:21.
9. How could and why would a God who is Good (Psalms 34:8) do away with a Law that is good? Romans 7:12.
10. How could and why would God do away with His Commandments, when Jesus kept them and we are told “to walk even as He walked?” 1 John 2:6.
11. How could and why would God do away with His Law after making the statement that some of the people would stop their ears and make their hearts like stone so they would not hear His Law? Zechariah 7:11-12.

13. How could and why would God abolish His Law after making the statement that the people have trespassed against His Law, and have “sown the wind and shall reap the whirlwind?” Hosea 8:1-7.
14. How could and why would God do away with His Commandments and then later have John write that the man who claims to know God and does not keep God’s Commandments, is a liar? 1 John 2:4.
15. How could and why would God do away with His Commandments and later have John write that those who love God and keep His Commandments will love the children of God? 1 John 5:2.
16. How could and why would God do away with His Commandments and also promise to hear the prayers of those who keep His Commandments? 1 John 3:22.

20. How could and why would God do away with the Law that helps a sinner to realise his need? When a sinner realises that death is the penalty for transgression, and in sorrow he comes to God for forgiveness, he receives a pardon through Jesus. That pardon is Grace. Would God abolish the very Law that Christ died for to make it possible to give grace to the sinner? If God abolished His Law there would be no transgression and therefore no need of forgiveness or grace. Grace is not something apart from the Law; it is necessary. Paul said to the Christians: “you are not under the law but under grace.” Romans 6:14. Then he said, “shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? God forbid.” Verse 15. In Galatians 3:21 Paul says “the law is not against the promises of God.” How could God abolish His Law and thus do away with Grace too?

Hebrews 4:4, 9-10. Read and re-read those two verses.
51. How could and why would God do away with the Moral Law, at the same time that He abolished the ceremonial law which had to do with the offerings and sacrifices?

The ceremonial law was instituted to show the people what to do when they broke the Moral Law. By their sacrifices they could show their faith in the great sacrifice which was to be offered on Calvary. All the Sacrifices and offerings pointed forward to Christ. When Jesus died the veil in the temple was rent signifying that the sacrificial or Ceremonial law had ended. Many people confuse the Ceremonial and Moral laws.

58. How could and why would God abolish the Ten Bible Commandments, the same Ten Commandments that Jesus said hung on the two Great Commandments of Love to God and Love to Man? Matthew 22:35-40. The first four Commandments show our relation to God; the last six show our relation to Man. Thus they all hang on the two principles of love to God and to man. See what is the greatest Bible Commandment.

60. How could and why would God do away with the Sabbath Commandment when He gave the Sabbath to be a sign that He is our God? Ezekiel 20:20; Exodus 31:16-17.

99. How could anyone accuse God of changing or abolishing His own perfect Law when the Prophet saw a PERSECUTING POWER that would think to change it? Daniel 7:25. Read about the four beasts and the little “horn.” Daniel 7:1-8. Read verse 23-fourth kingdom (Rome). Little horn represents a religious power that started in Rome and in 321AD they changed God’s Sabbath to Sunday. A fact unknown by many Christians today. Now read verse 25 again.
100. How could and why would God do away with His Commandments and also promise that in the New Earth His People will be keeping the Sabbath? Isaiah 66:22-23. The Sabbath Command is in the centre of His Law. The Sabbath is God’s Mark or Sign of His Power and authority as the Creator. Exodus 20:8-11. See also the what is the mark of the beast. The Sabbath has always been God’s test of obedience. Exodus 16:4-30. God’s Law is in His Heart. May we never wound His heart of love and insult His Grace. If God has abolished His Law then hundreds of texts in your Bible become meaningless and should be left out. Here are some examples:

1. All the texts that mention or refer to the Law.
2. All the texts that mention the Commandments of God.
3. All the texts that speak of SIN. (Sin is the transgression of the Law. 1 John 3:4).
4. All the texts that speak of obedience.
5. All the texts that speak of transgression.
6. All the texts that speak of repentance.
7. All the texts that speak of Jesus as the Saviour from sin. etc, etc.

If God has abolished any part of His Law then every Bible text that speaks of the Law as Perfect, Holy, Just and Unchangeable etc., become meaningless. “Not one tittle of the Law shall fall.” If we offend in one point of the Ten Commandments we are guilty of all. See James 2:10-12 and Matthew 5:17-19.
